TULLOCH Homes has supported Inverness-based charity Spokes for Folks for the fourth consecutive year.
The charity, which offers free sociable trike rides for the elderly and individuals with limited mobility, is based near the housebuilder’s development, the Maples in Ness side.
Established in 2017 with just two trikes and a handful of passengers, Spokes for Folks now operates eight trikes, including two specially adapted wheelchair trikes. The group supports 30 client organisations, including care homes and adults with additional support needs.
The charity is powered by around 60 volunteer pilots. Over a 12-month period, each trike costs approximately £200 to maintain. Tulloch Homes is showing support for the group by covering the costs for one of the trikes.
Tulloch Homes MD Kieran Graham said, “Spokes for Folks is a charity that we have admired for a number of years, and we are pleased to once again offer our support to this organisation. They help combat isolation in a sustainable and fun way. Their sociable trike rides take members of our community on tours of our beautiful city and encourage them out into the fresh air.”
Vonnie Stevenson, fundraiser & committee member at Spokes for Folks, added, “Like most charities, we heavily rely on funding and donations from local businesses like this one from Tulloch Homes. We’re hugely grateful for their continued support, and we see first-hand the positive impact our sociable trike rides can have on individuals.
“If you would like to support our group financially or by volunteering, or would like more information, please contact enquiries.spokesforfolkes@gmail.com.”
